Player Profile: Jayantilal Varia (jayantilaljvaria)
Meet Jayantilal Varia, a chess warrior who prefers performing rapid maneuvers on the board rather than running marathons. With a notable peak rapid rating of 851 achieved in March 2023, Jayantilal has shown that he's got the tactical cunning to outfox opponents, even if his bullet and blitz ratings play it a bit cooler.
Jayantilal's chess journey is like a roller-coaster: sometimes soaring to peaks in rapid games and then diving into the depths of intense battles. But don’t let those rating dips fool you — they only add spice to his calculated comebacks, highlighted by an impressive 59.26% comeback rate! Clearly, quitting is not in his vocabulary, even if his early resignation rate clocks in at a modest 4.39% — everyone has their off days!
Playing Style & Tactics
Known for a balanced style, Jayantilal prefers longer, thoughtful games with an average of about 49 moves per win and around 55 moves per loss. He loves openings like the King’s Pawn Opening and the Van ’t Kruijs Opening, the latter being his secret weapon with a stellar 60.56% win rate in rapid games. In blitz they turn into an all-out assault, boasting a perfect 100% win rate in the Van ’t Kruijs Opening. Talk about opening with swagger!
Time Preferences
As a self-proclaimed night owl, Jayantilal's best tactics reportedly come out at 3 AM — possibly when the chess board becomes a secret battlefield and the coffee is strongest. Despite the nocturnal advantage, his win rates across days of the week stay pretty consistent, proving his reliability to puzzle out opponents whenever he plays.
